When I first got to the venue and walked in, I walked past the dude who was supposed to be the security guard for the backstage. He didn't even look at me. I immediately went to the promoter and I said, 'Who's that guy? I want to put another dude on.' He said, 'Well, some of the other guards aren't here yet.'

It was allegedly revealed later approximately six security guards were not going to work that night, although Hughes was not informed of the reason.

In reference to the missing security, Hughes told Fox Business Network,

It seems rather obvious they had a reason not to show up.

The frontman seems to insinuate the missing security workers were informed of the upcoming attack and, therefore, purposefully declined to guard certain areas of the venue.

If this is true, it may explain how concertgoers received no warning of the intruders and didn't know the attack was happening until gunshots rang out.

One might also note the suicide bombers targeting the Stade de France that same night were only able to kill one person, apparently thanks to security guards who stopped them from entering the soccer stadium.

The second portion of Hughes' interview will air tonight at 8 pm on Fox Business Network.
